Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Erskine, MN.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or rehab facility so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Erskine that individuals can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and gaining access to a robust system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or complications based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detox may also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would rather receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
